Train Rides
Dental Depot Train Park
Our Train Park at Dental Depot Yukon features the Dental Depot Express, a miniature train with five passenger cars that can hold up to 10 riders! The train is open Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to noon in the summer (weather permitting), and rides are free for the whole family. But, these fun rides would’t be possible without our four, fantastic conductors! Get to know them below and we look forward to seeing you at the Dental Depot Train Park!
Heather is a dental assistant here at Dental Depot Yukon and she works with Dr. Ty Mays. She’s been with us since 2014 and her favorite things in the world are her sons, her dogs and ice cream! Nothing makes Heather happier than the joy that children have when they see the trains in our offices for the first time. The only thing that’s better? The smiles on their faces when they actually get to ride the train! You’ll know it’s Heather coming around the tracks because she loves to sound the whistle.
Whitney is a patient care coordinator (PCC) for our hygiene team at Dental Depot Yukon. Whitney has been a staple at the Yukon office since 2014. She loves spending time with her son and her Great Danes. She also enjoys decorating the office for different holidays and seasons. Whitney can make anyone laugh and her positivity spreads around the office. Her favorite part of the train is that both kids and their parents can ride together. Whitney’s favorite train sound is the bell as she pulls into the station.
Lorna is a patient accounts service representative (PASR) at Dental Depot Yukon and has been with us since 2016. She handles billing questions and works with insurance companies to make sure our patients receive the benefits they are entitled to. Her favorite part of being a Dental Depot Express conductor is seeing how excited the riders are to go around the tracks. You know Lorna is having a great time when she sounds the horn as the train leaves the station. The best things in life for Lorna are her three cats, her boyfriend and her mom.
Janis is the assistant manager at Dental Depot Yukon and she’s been with Dental Depot since 2015. Her favorite things in the whole wide world are reading, spending time with her family and traveling. The motto at our Yukon office must be, “work hard, play hard.” Because for Janice, the best part of working at Dental Depot is that she can always count on her team members to lend a helping hand and to have fun while doing it. Her favorite part about driving the Dental Depot Express is seeing all of the smiles and her favorite sound is the whistle! There are too many types of trains to pick a favorite, so Janis likes them all!
That’s all folks! Stay connected with us on Facebook to keep up with any changes to the Dental Depot Express schedule for the upcoming weekend. And we encourage you to take pictures of your time at the train park and tag us in them when you post on your favorite social media network. We’ll see you soon!
